PUBG Mobile in Malaysia 2026: The Competitive Scene

Executive Summary

Deep Dive: A Battle-Royale Stronghold

Among mobile battle royales, PUBG Mobile is where Malaysia has won the most. The scene runs through PMPL Malaysia, which historically fed the PMPL SEA Championship and the year-end global PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC). After a period under the PMSL banner in 2024–25, the PMPL/PMGO structure returned for Malaysia and Southeast Asia in 2026, as tracked in our tournaments report.

The landmark result is Yoodo Gank‘s win at the inaugural PMPL SEA Championship Season 1 in 2020 — the first SEA-level PUBG Mobile title by a Malaysian team. Other Malaysian-era champions include Geek Fam and RSG Malaysia, while the Malaysian-era Team Secret roster won early PMPL MY/SG seasons before the org later switched to a non-Malaysian lineup.
